15 April 1943 The war of attrition continues. Larry and I exchanged raids in NG. He raided PM fro Lae and I raided Dobodura from PM. All in all a slight edge for the Allies. Yet I know my airframe production exceeds his by a long shot. He seems to be using Tojos a lot. WIth the recent loss of over 100 of those airframes at Bangkok, he may need to change some units soon. I only see three fighter airframes in numbers these days: Tony's, Tojo's, and A6M3/A6M3a. Port attack at Bangkok was a big success: Day Air attack on Bangkok , at 29,39 Allied aircraft Boomerang II x 10 Vengeance I x 9 Beaufort I x 12 Beaufighter VIC x 4 Beaufighter Mk 21 x 12 Allied aircraft losses Vengeance I: 2 damaged Beaufort I: 3 damaged Japanese Ships AP Kogi Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Genkai Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire AP Juko Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Konzan Maru, Bomb hits 2 AP Tutukami Maru, Bomb hits 3, on fire, heavy damage AP Tatuwa Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Kyokusei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Kureha Maru #3, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Horai Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Higashiyama Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Hiyama Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Enju Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Eiko Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire Japanese ground losses: 6 casualties reported Port hits 1 Port supply hits 1 Aircraft Attacking: 4 x Beaufighter VIC bombing at 2000 feet 7 x Vengeance I bombing at 2000 feet 7 x Beaufighter Mk 21 bombing at 2000 feet 10 x Boomerang II bombing at 2000 feet 4 x Beaufort I bombing at 6000 feet 2 x Beaufighter Mk 21 bombing at 2000 feet 2 x Vengeance I bombing at 2000 feet 3 x Beaufighter Mk 21 bombing at 2000 feet 3 x Beaufort I bombing at 6000 feet 3 x Beaufort I bombing at 6000 feet 2 x Beaufort I bombing at 6000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Bangkok , at 29,39 Allied aircraft P-38G Lightning x 20 B-25C Mitchell x 43 B-25J Mitchell x 31 F-4 Lightning x 5 Allied aircraft losses B-25C Mitchell: 1 destroyed B-25J Mitchell: 2 damaged Japanese Ships AP Tatuwa Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AP Yamura Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire AP Genkai Maru, Bomb hits 3, on fire, heavy damage AP Kureha Maru #3, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AK Mie Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AP Turusima Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Terukuni Maru, Bomb hits 5, on fire, heavy damage AK Hiyama Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AP Enju Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Eiko Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Kinkai Maru, Bomb hits 3, on fire, heavy damage AP Kyosei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Tofuku Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire AP Akashisan Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Teikin Maru, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AP Tatsuwa Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Kyokusei Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Taizin Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Shoun Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Horai Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Konzan Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Sugiyama Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Huso Maru, Bomb hits 1 AP Tenyo Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AK Sasako Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire AP Kamo Maru, Bomb hits 1, on fire Japanese ground losses: 31 casualties reported Port hits 4 Port fuel hits 1 Port supply hits 1 Aircraft Attacking: 20 x B-25J Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet 25 x B-25C Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet 11 x B-25C Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet 4 x B-25J Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet 5 x B-25J Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet 3 x B-25C Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet 3 x B-25C Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet 2 x B-25J Mitchell bombing at 6000 feet Why are all these AP's disbanded at this port?
